For easier words yes because iscosceles has only has 2 equal sides and equilateral triangles sides are equal and iscoseles has two so yea....
no it can't because equilateral means all sides are the same and a isosceles triangle means only 2 sides are the same

Are isosceles triangle sometimes an equilateral triangle
It can be scalene or isosceles but not equilateral.
An isosceles triangle has at least two congruent sides. An equilateral triangle has three congruent sides. So, an equilateral triangle is a special case of isosceles triangles. Since the equilateral triangle has three congruent sides, it satisfies the conditions of isosceles triangle. So, equilateral triangles are always isosceles triangles. Source: www.icoachmath.com
Not ... exactly. It would be closer to accurate to say that an equilateral triangle is a special case of the isosceles triangle.All equilateral triangles are (also) isosceles; but most isosceles triangles are not equilateral.
Isosceles has 2 equal sides, but an equilateral triangle, all of its sides are equal.
